I noticed an advertisement in Circuit Cellar Ink for an 8-axis programmable
motion controller, the dcx-pc from Precision Micro Control Corporation of
San Diego.  
    The dcx-pc is a pc/xt/at compatible full size board that has:

         room for 1-8 plug in modules: dc servo, stepper, or special purpose.
         used stand alone via RS232 and/or IEEE-488 interface modules
         high level interface libraries for C and BASIC.

Has anyone had any experience with this product?  This company?

Can you suggest any other similar motion control boards?

Features of particular interest to me are:

         controllable via serial or parallel interface
         high level interface libraries
         ease of programming
         and, of course, reasonable price.

Thanx for any suggestions you might have?
